As soon as Yahoo opens it up, I will be setting up our survivor pool. I think I am going with 1 strike your out this year. That way we might get 2 champs in this year. I don't know why. But, no-one can set up Survivor, Pro football pickem, or college pickem right now.

I have never said I'm out after week 1. The earliest I have ever gone out is week 3. Sure that happened last year and it was only week 3 because I went with 3 strikes and your out last year. But, I took some risks that I wouldn't take with a 1 strike and your out game.

But, I have never gone out in week 1 before and I don't intend to start now.

Unlike most people, I actually have a system that I use for this thing. I've already made my picks for the full season, but that could change based upon injuries or a team playing better or worse than expected. I'm not going to divulge my other criteria, but the first rule is - Why save a team for later when you might not make it to later? Those that do otherwise usually don't last very long.
